Today, TNO and Aiosyn announced a strategic partnership. Aiosyn, a Dutch medical software company specializing in AI-driven pathology, recently closed a €2.4 million funding round. TNO Ventures is one of the investors, alongside OostNL, LUMO Labs, and Health Innovations. Aiosyn develops software that uses AI to accelerate histopathological diagnostics. Histopathological diagnostics is a medical examination in which diseased cells and tissues are studied microscopically to establish a diagnosis. The improved tissue analysis enables faster and more accurate detection of conditions such as breast cancer.

Over the past few years, Aiosyn has worked hard on developing three products: an AI model for breast cancer grading, a quality control model (QC), and a kidney model. Through the partnership, Aiosyn benefits from TNO’s research and lab facilities and network to accelerate the validation and implementation of the AI software.

'This funding is an important milestone for Aiosyn and underscores our mission to bring AI innovation into clinical practice. It also enables us to invest in a new generation of predictive algorithms that can transform decision-making in cancer care.'
